Since 2010, Memories Live has completed more than 60-movies for those with life-limiting illnesses. The organization has recently forged new partnerships with Heiress Productions, a not-for-profit organization committed to raising cancer awareness and funds through entertaining and inspirational professional theater productions and Imagine Program's Center for Coping with Loss, as they launch their new Tender Living Care Program, a peer support group program for children and families coping with a terminal, chronic or other life-altering illness in the family. These partnerships along with the new board appointment will help the organization reach a broader audience so it can meet the goal to help empower those who are terminally ill by allowing them to tell their stories, on film, leaving a living and breathing legacy for future generations.
